Can a Scientist Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ?
Meet Dr. Ian Hutchinson, Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT. Hutchinson is merely one of scientists from all over the world who have professed their faith in Jesus Christ.

Good Friday – 20 Centuries Ago…
On Good Friday, while we go through our daily routines, use your imagination and travel back with me twenty centuries to the dusty roads of southern Palestine. The son is appearing over the horizon.

“Hallelujah”
Another gorgeous rendition of Cohen's classic..... A friend sent this video to me. I made the mistake of viewing it while in my "local saloon" (Starbucks).
